I’m chairing a panel at the Science Gallery on Thursday at lunchtime discussing the PRISM leak. You can find out more about the event here.

The biggest leak in the history of US security or nothing to worry about? A breach of trust and a data protection issue or a necessary secret project to protect American interests? This lunchtime Science Gallery Rapid Response event will pick through the jargon, examine the minutiae of the National Security Agency’s PRISM project and the whistle blower Edward Snowden’s revelations, and discuss what it means for you and everyone. And we’ll look at the bigger picture too.
